The Meeting Caused Chaos

Lunar ran out of the hotel as fast as she could. The high shoes worn to beautify the appearance were left just like that when it made it difficult for her to take a step. She couldn't waste time because the makeup artist must be busy stalling for time.

"Lunar!"

She heard Sora's voice and Nico calling her name. It's really frustrating how to get away from them. She doesn't want to marry a traitor like Nico.

"Oh, gosh ... What should I do?"

In the parking basement she frantically looked for a hiding place, walking slowly while crouching so she could be completely covered.

Drap, drap, drap ....

The sound of boisterous stamping on the basement floor could be heard stopping then, indicating that the person chasing was no longer running and the last sound she heard was not far from her at this time.

She knelt on the floor, then bent her head over one of the cars so she could see where Nico and Sora were going, that way she could calculate where to dodge.

"Lunar, you better get out now. Don't mess up the wedding ceremony. Our family's good name will be tarnished later. Father and mother will also be disappointed by your actions."

Two pairs of legs appeared past the car she had used as a hiding place. Lunar straightened her head again while supporting the body that was crouching by holding the back of the car.

Hearing Sora talk about their parents made her think about it. Even though getting married was not the decision she wanted, she still didn't want to disappoint anyone, especially their parents.

But, Nico is not a nice guy as one might think. If only someone believed her words and called off the wedding, maybe she wouldn't even think about running away.

She didn't even know where to go after this. The only place she has every day is home where the family gathers. After this, she will be living on the street in a wedding dress. People must have thought that she was going crazy because failed to get married.

She had already moved to hide in another car, then surprised because the trunk of the car moved and made her immediately move away from there.

She was confused about how to close the trunk of the car again, moreover the sound generated could be the center of attention for Sora and Nico.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer. She who didn't know where to hide made the trunk of the car a hiding place, using the dark cloth that was in the trunk of the car to cover her whole body.

She hoped that her whereabouts would not be discovered by others. No one knew how fast her heart was beating right now.

The cabin door opened and closed as if someone had just stepped inside. She had thought that it would be Sora and Nico, but that seemed to have been a mistake.

Lunar surprised when she heard the sound of something beside her head. There was someone close to her at the moment. It seemed that person had just placed something she didn't know clearly.

"Was the blanket open like this?"

Lunar opened her eyes wide when an unfamiliar voice was talking about the blanket she used to cover herself. Would she be found out so soon? She hoped whoever it was didn't know of her. Please, she just wanted to get away from the hotel right now.

At the same time, the sound of the cabin door sounded again. "Just put the suitcase down, why is it taking so long?"

Lunar thought that there were two people right now. They are man with soft voices and also man with deep voices that sound masculine. She now is not the time to imagine what a man with a masculine voice looks like.

She refocused on the hope that she didn't want her whereabouts known, inhaling and exhaling slowly so as not to arouse suspicion.

"I will immediately close the trunk of the car, Sir."

A loud sound was deafening after that. It was the sound of a car trunk being closed. She immediately opened the quilt to take a look at the situation.

The sound of a car screeching was heard, taking her somewhere. She can escape from Nico and Sora's, but now she's trapped in the trunk of a car and can't get out!

There was no way her life would stop there after running away from an unwanted marriage. She had to get out as soon as possible so as not to die ridiculously. And, how did she get out of the trunk of the car?

She groped slowly in the trunk of the car, hoping there was something she could do to get out of there. She couldn't curl up for long and also survive in a stuffy room. Right now it feels tight for her to breathe in a narrow and dark room, moreover a body that can't be moved freely starts to cramp because of it.

She was desperately looking for anything that could help. In fact, the small suitcase that was beside her was also opened. It wasn't clear what was in the suitcase, but she could imagine what she was holding right now. The owner of the suitcase was really cunning because she kept women's underwear.

She tried to think of something positive about it. Maybe, the man with the suitcase has a girlfriend, especially if the car is parked at the hotel. It's no longer a surprise. It seems she made the mistake of hiding in the trunk of a car, though she has no regrets about escaping the wedding.

Other than underwear and cosmetic tools, there was nothing else she could find there. He tried moved her body in the trunk brutally, pounding the trunk lid on it with great force, hoping someone could help her. She also shouted for the trunk of the car to be opened immediately.

***

Arkan is a well-known businessman in the city where he lives. Today he just finished meeting a business client at a hotel. He closed the document he was reading, then took off the glasses before close his eyes.

He just wanted to rest for a moment, but a sound in the trunk of the car caught his attention. It's been a while actually sounding like someone's punching and screaming. His head turned to look at the back of the car which was fine. There were no other cars behind them. Then why is there a noise from behind?

"Are you okay, Sir?" asked Secretary Ham who was driving the car.

"Do I look okay?"

Arkan seemed eager to hear a satisfactory answer from his secretary, because he felt strange about himself at the moment.

"You looks a little pale, Sir."

Arkan cleared his throat, loosening his tie. "Looks like I need to rest a bit," he said, leaning back.

When the noise came back, Arkan watched the secretary's expression to make sure that what he heard was just a hallucination. And, his private secretary seemed focused on driving.

In the end, Arkan was able to ignore the voice that he found so foreign. His ears were also gently massaged in the hope that the noise would quickly leave his ears.

A few moments after that, they arrived in front of the office building. There were already a lot of journalists gathered in front, because the news of his marriage was so sudden that many parties wanted to dig up information about it.

It doesn't matter to Arkan because he has decided to marry Raya in the near future. Their relationship had been going on for a long time, but only now did he dare to announce it to everyone.

Secretary Ham came down first and opened the exit for Arkan.

Arkan got out of the car, then stepped into the office building. Just a few steps because after that unexpectedly journalists came swarming.

Arkan had to retreat for safety, leaving Secretary Ham to face them outside while he got back in the car until things calmed down.

He heard a noise from behind there again, even though after looking at it there was no one. Were the voices coming from the reporters? Looks like he should check his health condition after this. It's possible that the workload has made his hallucinations increase.

He looked out the window, the crowd that had been boisterous suddenly quieted down. Everyone was looking in one direction, namely the back of the car. Not only that, because they also walked towards the trunk. Arkan struck by curiosity, pulled himself to get out of the car and see what was happening.

Everyone left when Arkan joined the crowd. Secretary Ham immediately opened the trunk of the car, slowly the source of the sound became clearer. They widened their eyes when saw someone in there, including Arkan who was very surprised to find a stranger in the trunk of his car.

“I almost… died….”

The foreign woman was panting with profuse sweat, seemed to be trying to catch her breath, then climbed down from the trunk with irregular movements.

Arkan was forced to hold the body that seemed limp when it almost fell. Looking away from the woman's eyes, he glanced at the trunk of the car where the contents of his luggage had been scattered.

Secretary Ham closed the trunk of the car, not allowing any journalists to take photos. After that, he pulled the woman who was still leaning on Arkan and made her stand straight again.

"I—is this woman the intended wife?" asked one of the journalists after finishing assessing the appearance seen. Without anyone expecting it, the question has backfired in the lives of two people involved in a public misunderstanding.
